OK so a few questions for those that have this issue or web access...
1. Was this on the stock tune?
2. was the ecu reset for each of the intakes?
3. did they show AFR plot for any of the intakes?
4. Did they show any logs of long term fuel trims?
Over all, i have been far less than impressed with their testing methodology starting with the catback exhausts, trend continues here. Seem to me like they really don't know what they are doing, as brash as that sounds. The only real way to test the intakes and see which truly is best is to use a rom file that has the IAM set to 1.0 and the long term trims turned off. Then just leave the car on the dyno, swap intakes get the car up toe the test temps make 3 pulls, lather rinse repeat. Depending on the fuel they have, they may need to pull a little timing for the sake of tune consistency.
As it is, they only present half the data, at least with the exhausts maybee they did a better job this time but i don't have the full article to know for sure.
